"We are pleased to be standing with Governor Cuomo in announcing the return of a long-standing New York institution, the New York Auto Show. For 121 years New York City has been at the center of the great advances in the personal transportation industry. We look forward to returning in August, helping restart our economy, and giving buyers the help they need when making their important purchasing decisions." -- Mark Schienberg, New York Auto Show President.

ELECTRIC NEW YORK

Governor Cuomo also announced that the 2021 New York Auto Show will play an important role in supporting one of New York State's top green energy priorities by focusing on electric vehicles. At this year's show, an entire floor will be dedicated to electric vehicles. The exhibition will feature a total of five indoor test tracks, giving show attendees the opportunity to experience first-hand the feeling of an all-electric vehicle. 

Nine manufacturers will be participating in this multi-brand demonstration, which is expected to introduce EVs to attendees. This special exhibition will host more than two dozen companies including the nine automakers, Con Edison, New York Power Authority, Charge NY, NYSERDA, and a number of home, mobile, and curbside charging partners committed to consumer education and EV adoption.
